Meet a Scientist Cicada Series: Elizabeth Postema
June 20, 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Included in general admissionGet the buzz on the broods this summer with our Meet a Scientist Cicada series! This May and June, Illinois will experience a rare, double-emergence of cicada broods XIX and XIII – a phenomenon that occurs once every 221 years. In honor of these little critters, we are hosting a series of cicada-centric events to help people experience the season with curiosity and wonder.
Scientists, researchers, and collections managers are behind the scenes every day, uncovering new information and taking care of our collection.
During Meet a Scientist, you can find them in the Grainger Science Hub. They’ll discuss their work and share real items from the museum’s collection of nearly 40 million objects. From collections care to field work, and dinosaurs to ecology, there’s a world of science to explore.
